All Jacked Up
Contributed by:
Karen Finney (Avenel, NJ)
Hello again, its Karen
Finney from Avenel, NJ. I must tell you that I have
a really have a great time creating cakes for family
and friends. The last time that I submitted my
pictures to you they were for my two nieces, the
manicurist cake and the megaphone cake. This time
around, I would like to submit a cake that I made
for my two nephews, Joseph and Anthony who just
turned 2 and 5. The party theme this year was
"Pirates of the Caribbean". It was a little bit of
a challenge but the request was a Pirate Ship
sailing on the ocean. I must tell you that during
the night, there was a little bit of a ship wreck.
The back end of the ship fell off and I had to
reattach it so it did not look like anything was
wrong. (what I did not tell you was that all of
that happed at 5:00 a.m.) This time around, the
cannon and cannon balls, the two pirates, the
lanterns, windows and ladder were made of fondant
and I used chocolate treasure chests and root beer
barrels and other chocolate candies to create the
cannons sticking out of the side of the cake. The
sails were also fondant along with the crows nests.
The fence and the ropes were made out of white
chocolate. So I hope that you and your readers
enjoy these latest pictures. Without further delay,
I would like to share with you my version of my
pirate ship the "ALLJACKEDUP". Thank you again, Karen
Finney

Cakes
for (a) Good Company
Contributed by:
Lynne Fox (Rickreall, OR)
I am continuing doing
the monthly birthday cakes and ended up with two
30th birthdays the first week of May. Our company
calls its employees “swans” so I decided to try a
swan cake. The princess was for a woman who had to
have been a princess in her former life. For the
princess I used the Wilton mold and doll decorating
with blue chocolate clay. I added some jewels at the
request of our party coordinator who wanted some
“bling” although I prefer not to put decorations on
cakes that are not edible. I had never made that
cake but it is really easy to make something cute
for a special person.
The swan is made using the Wilton rubber ducky mold
with a replacement head and neck. I used a curved
piece of copper tubing covered with rice crispy
treats and white chocolate clay. I sculpted the head
and beak after covering the rice with the chocolate.
I taped the tube to a cake board, cut a notch in the
cake and fit them together. I was amazed at how well
it all fit. I frosted the whole swan with butter
cream and then painted the eyes and beak with black
paste food color mixed with vanilla. The wings are
white fondant that were dried on each half of the
cake pan to keep the curve. I used a paper clip to
stamp in the feathers. The water lilies and pads are
gum paste.
